Size matters: Origin of binomial scaling in nuclear fragmentation experiments
The relationship between measured transverse energy, total charge recovered in the detector, and size of the emitting system is investigated. Using only very simple assumptions, we are able to reproduce the observed binomial emission probabilities and their dependences on the transverse energy. Our results show that the observed scaling can arise due to a combination of finite-size effects and ...
متن کاملExact sample size determination for binomial experiments
In experiments designed to estimate a binomial parameter, sample sizes are often calculated to ensure that the point estimate will be within a desired distance from the true value with sufficiently high probability. Since exact calculations resulting from the standard formulation of this problem can be difficult, "conservative" and/or normal approximations are frequently used. In this paper, so...
متن کاملExcluded-Volume Effects in Tethered-Particle Experiments: Bead Size Matters
The tethered-particle method is a single-molecule technique that has been used to explore the dynamics of a variety of macromolecules of biological interest. We give a theoretical analysis of the particle motions in such experiments. Our analysis reveals that the proximity of the tethered bead to a nearby surface (the microscope slide) gives rise to a volume-exclusion effect, resulting in an en...

متن کامل∆-Scaling in Spectator Fragmentation
Universal scaling-laws of fluctuations (the ∆-scaling laws) have been derived for equilibrium systems, and shown to apply also in certain out-of-equilibrium situations. [1]. Recently looking for signals of a phase transition in multifragmentation reactions the model-independent theory of universal fluctuation has been used [2]. The ∆-scaling is observed when two or more probability distribution...
